Hello there! I totally agree with both Courtney and John. I’ve been a 1-800-411SAVE fan eversince I used the service. Based on my experience with directory assistance, you either have to pay through your nose or have to listen to a dumb machine to get a listing. I’m happy to share I’ve found this service, which is supported by friendly live operators and best of all its completely free! Yes, it ROCKS indeed!

I have used that horrible 800-Free-411 for the last few weeks and more recently started using regular 411 again because I would rather pay the money than fight with a machine.

I just tried 800-411-SAVE and it was awesome (thanks Courtney!!!), the service is done by people and absolutley free, even free to connect my call!!! Awesome, awesome, awesome!!!! I love 800-411-SAVE………….why didn’t the original article mention it????

I also have signed up for On Call. I used to call 411 several times a week for work – so even though there is a fee, I’ve saved. I’ve tried Google as well, but prefer On Call because it’s easier to use while driving and I seem to get more accurate information – they also connect you directly to the number. They also have a concierge service that I have not taken full advantage of. I’ve only used a couple times for movie times. So far I’m very pleased.

I actually signed up for the http://www.800oncall.com 411 because i use 411 for my business alot. The service is actually really good, I get put through right to a LIVE operator so i dont have to deal with those annoying recordings and they offer alot of other services as well. Pretty Impressed with the service

I have used Jingle Networks Free 411 since it came out. I have never had a problem with it. I was surprised it did not recognize your question. I tried it again today after reading your article and it worked OK. I also tried Goog 411 and liked it better because it seemed to work faster plus it offered to connect my call. So now I have them both programmed into my cell phone.

It’s kind of hard to use the internet while you’re driving.

I’ve used Free 411 and Goog 411. Free 411 had too many ads. Goog 411 was good except it wouldn’t give me directions. I’ll have to try Tellme and Yellowpages in the future.

I agree that getting the information out on these services is really bad. I only found out about them a year ago when I read an article like this one.

Goog411 is great if you are out and about with your cell phone and don’t have internet access. I use it all the time out of town.

Heck, with all the new phones with internet access on them, why dial 411? Just use the online phone directories. It takes a minute longer, but it’s worth it for a buck. That buck is a quarter gallon of extra gas in my car!
